pairdist

Pairwise distances

Usage

pairdist(X, …)

Arguments

X

Object specifying the locations of a set of `things'
(such as a set of points or a set of line segments).

…

Further arguments depending on the method.

Details

Given a dataset X and Y
(representing either a point pattern or
a line segment pattern)
pairdist computes the distance between each pair of
`things' in the dataset, and returns
a matrix containing these distances.

The function pairdist is generic, with
methods for point patterns (objects of class "ppp"),
line segment patterns (objects of class "psp")
and a default method. See the documentation
for pairdist.ppp, pairdist.psp
or pairdist.default for details.

Value

A square matrix whose [i,j] entry is the distance
between the `things' numbered i and j.
